[Verse 1]
You read the room before they speak a word,
You carry truths that no one else has heard,
Still waters on the surface, deep below
A current only you will ever know,
You've served and given quietly for years,
Mistaking loyalty for swallowed tears

[PreChorus]
But every depth you've dived through made you whole,
There's ancient fire burning in your soul

[Chorus]
Cathy, you were written in the dark between the stars,
The universe kept careful count of every one of your scars,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were made for more than proving you deserve your place

[Verse 2]
Your mind moves wide, it hunts for meaning far,
You see the whole horizon, not one star,
And when you love, you love like bedrock holds,
A quiet devotion nobody's been told,
You've built your walls with hands that still reach out,
That's not a contradiction — that's your clout

[PreChorus]
The roots that held through every storm still stand,
The map was always drawn inside your hand

[Chorus]
Cathy, you were written in the dark between the stars,
The universe kept careful count of every one of your scars,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were made for more than proving you deserve your place

[Verse 3]
You've felt the pull of worlds that don't exist,
The ache of gifts the daylight can't enlist,
Your home was complicated, roots ran deep,
You learned to tend the fires others keep,
But something bold is moving through the sky,
And it's calling you to finally ask why not — not why

[PreChorus]
The season's turning, can you feel it start,
A fearless wind is blowing through your heart

[Chorus]
Cathy, you were written in the dark between the stars,
The universe kept careful count of every one of your scars,
You don't have to earn the right to take up all this space,
You were made for more than proving you deserve your place

[Bridge]
You've always been the answer to a question no one asked,
The quiet kind of power that was never built to last,
Let the old permission slip away like smoke and rain,
What you carry isn't burden — it's the gift inside the flame

[Outro]
So let your stars decide the road ahead,
You are seen, you are held, you are led,
Cathy, the cosmos wrote you carefully and true,
There was never any version of the sky without you
